Lattari Mountains Chain Summer 2026
2026-08-22 00:00 - 2026-08-29 23:59 (Europe/Rome)
Presentation
We will walk all the 80 km (50 miles) of the Lattari Mountains Chain, numbered with 300 CAI and part of the famous Italia Trail.
We will start from Corpo di Cava dei Tirreni in the Province of Salerno passing through the whole Sorrento/Amalfi Peninsula, until Massalubrense Termini, in front of Capri, in the Province of Naples.
We will always stay on the ridge descending to the valley only for overnight stays and dinners.
We will admire from above the villages of the two coasts as well as the Gulfs of Naples and Salerno, until their ends (Cilento and Campi Flegrei).
The views will include the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida, as well as the Terranian sea we will always have in front of us and which, at sunset, will offer us suggestive views.
The route is divided in 6 stages, each one about 14 km (8,6 miles), with an elevation gain of 1000m (3,200 feet) and 8h duration (including stops).
The difficulty will be mainly E (moderate), with short EE stretch (challenging).
We will sleep in small hotels or B&Bs and have dinner in local trattorie. We will have a luggage trasportation service.
